I'll tell you what you did with Atheists for about 1500 years. You outlawed them from the universities or any teaching careers, besmirched their reputations, banned or burned their books or their writings of any kind, drove them into exile, humiliated them, seized their properties, arrested them for blasphemy. You dehumanised them with beatings and exquisite torture, gouged out their eyes, slit their tongues, stretched, crushed, or broke their limbs, tore off their breasts if they were women, crushed their scrotums if they were men, imprisoned them, stabbed them, disembowelled them, hanged them, burnt them alive.
And you have nerve enough to complain to me that I laugh at you.

I am getting quite annoyed by various groups, with different motivations, presenting "scientists should make their data public" as if it were a novel concept.
Rather than the reality of decades of data from many fields being publicly available from numerous archives.

“ It’s simply assumed, by most sides of the political spectrum, that the growth of ‘real’ GDP is what constitutes economic progress.
We think this is a mistake. When socialists and the Left use ‘real’ GDP as a measure of progress, or even as a quantity of empirical analysis, they are implicitly buying into the very capitalist paradigm that they otherwise reject. Let us explain.”
Evergreen and worth the read.

Why We Should Abandon Real GDP As A Measure of Economic Activity – Economics from the Top Down
For all that it purports to say, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) fails to explain anything relevant about the world.Blair Fix (Economics from the Top Down)
“ According to some of the dominant interpretations of neoclassical theory, the price of a commodity reveals the utility (i.e. pleasure) that a consumer derives from it. ”
So on the price goes up, a product’s utility goes up *by definition*.
But with inflation, all prices are going up, suggesting that everything is always becoming better. @pluralistic

One of the 10,000 reasons why mainstream economics is a cringey but toxic farce.
